It’s Never Too Early to Begin Routine Cancer Screening
November 3rd, 2009Cancer is a strange and complicated illness. Not only does it affect your body, it affects every part of your life. Living with cancer is difficult: the treatments are often invasive and aggressive, and are accompanied by a host of negative side effects. Even when cancer is no longer a death sentence, it can make life very stressful. These are just a few of the reasons why it is so critical to catch cancer in its earliest stages, so that it doesn’t ruin–or shorten–the rest of your life.
Today’s established cancer screening practices focus on just four organs of the human body: breast, cervix, prostate, and colon. But what about the rest of you? We know that cancer can occur in every organ system, including bones and skin. My health program features head to toe diagnostic ultrasounds that finds the same stuff that individual tests like colonoscopies, pap smears, and mammograms find, and much more.
So many health care professionals still focus on treating disease once it’s diagnosed. They’re still not getting the big picture. While early detection is key, prevention is equally important in guaranteeing a longer, healthier life. By focusing on preventative treatments, my patients don’t experience surprise illness or surprise deaths.
My practice incorporates the most innovative preventative treatments in cancer care, including medications, natural bioidentical hormone therapies, nutrient supplementation, and lifestyle changes that anyone can incorporate into their daily routine. By taking care of your body and your brain today, you will not only prevent cancer later, but begin to look and feel younger now. You will learn how to compensate for your genetics with the latest information that researchers are uncovering about the power of antioxidants and other vital nutrients found in delicious fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. You will also learn how to stop aging and it’s correlation with cancer by supplementing with natural, bioidentical hormones.
If you have received a cancer diagnosis, or there is a history of cancer in your family, you need to know about the latest breakthroughs in diagnostics and treatment of this disease. Whether it is finding the smallest nodules through PET scans and ultrasound, or alternative techniques for dealing with side effects, or simply improving mood, the best care involves treating each patient as a whole person rather than just treating the cancer.
